Central Giant Cell Granuloma Pathology
Not actually a granuloma
Central GCG - intraosseous
Peripheral GCG - soft tissue
CGCG Clinical Appearance
2 types - Aggressive & Non-aggressive
F>M
<30yr
70% anterior mandible
CGCG Clinical Symptoms
Non-Aggressive:
- More common
- Asymptomatic
- Expansion
- No resorption
Aggressive:
- Pain
- Rapid growth
- High recurrance
CGCG Radiographic Appearance
Well defined radiolucency
Uni-locular or multi-locular
Non-corticated
CGCG Histologic Appearance
Multi-nucleated giant cells
Ovoid-spindle mesenchymal cells
Extravasated RBCs w/ hemosiderin deposits
CGCG Treatment
Curettage
~20% recurrance
Aggressive tumors treat with:
- corticosteroids
- calcitonin
- interferon alpha 2a
CGCG Ddx
On radiograph:
- ameloblastoma
- KOT
On histo:
- brown tumor of hyperparathyroidism
- cherubism
Central Giant Cell Tumor Pathology
Benign, but more aggressive than GCG
Often in long bones
Central Giant Cell Tumor Histologic Appearance
Hypercellular
Multi-nucleated giant cells
Cherubism Pathology
Rare
Developmental
Autosomal Dominant heritance
Cherubism Clinical Appearance
Age 2-5
Bilateral swelling in post. mandible
Regress in puberty
Cherubism Radiographic Appearance
Bilateral, multi-locular lucency at angle and ramus
rare: ribs and humerus
Cherubism Histologic Appearnce
Multi-nucleated giant cells
Vascularized connective tissue
Eosinophilic cuffing (deposited around blood vessels)
Cherubism Treatment
Wait for regression
Sometimes surgical intervention
Aneurysmal Bone Cyst Pathology
Not a cyst - not lined with epithelium
Blood-soaked sponge appearance
Aneurysmal Bone Cyst Clinical Appearance
F>M
<20yr
2:1 mandible
Aneurysmal Bone Cyst Radiographic Appearance
Expansile
Uni- or multi-locular
Tooth displacement and/or reabsorption
Aneurysmal Bone Cyst Histologic Appearance
Blood filled cystic spaces
No epithelial lining
Walls contain multi-nucleated giant cells
Osteoid production
Aneurysmal Bone Cyst Treatment
Excision/curettage
26% recurrance
Brown Tumor Pathology
Can by caused by primary hyperparathyroidism
Brown Tumor Radiographic Appearance
Mixed lucent and opaque
Brown Tumor Histologic Appearance
Multi-nucleated giant cells
Traumatic Bone Cyst Clinical Appearance
M>F
10-20 yr
Unilateral
Mandibular
